Converting Informix 'Perform' screens to a Windows-based application

Question

For the past several years we have slowly built an Access-based front end to access our InformixSE database (unix). Our Sun server will be shut down in a couple of months and I'm looking for a relatively inexpensive solution for porting over the remainder of our old ".per" screens to a Windows-based solution. And even for the screens that have been reprogrammed, there's nothing that beats being able to query any field on the screen like you could with those simple-to-get-up-and-running Informix "Perform" screens.

Does anyone have experience with a solution?

Answer 1

Check out Aubit4GL.

Answer 2

So why do away with the .per screens?.. Besides Aubit, take a look at 4J's www.4js.com .. or keep your ISQL Perform screens running on a VM like I have. (see perform video-demo at www.frankcomputer.com).
